The answer is entomology (choice B). Root words tell you the simplest word to find the meaning of, affixes are the additions to the root word that have a few typical meanings that allow you to adjust your definition. Etymology is about the origin of words, whether it is related to a place, or a person, or in a foreign language. However, entomology is the study of insects and does not help one understand word meanings.
To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.
A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.
A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.
That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene.
The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.
Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.
Im not really sure on this question... but I hope you do great on that question! Seems like a hard one :(
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question
Read Identity, by Julio Noboa
How does the speaker’s description of flowers develop the meaning of the poem?
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more free than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an appreciation to humans.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an inconvenience to humans.
Answer: The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
Explanation:
As the title indicates, identity is the main theme of this poem, as well as the freedom of maintaining one´s individuality.
Polanco presents the life of flowers as limited in the sense that they are bound to a pot that restrains them, and they grow surrounded by other identical flowers. This could be a metaphor about those who obey the commands of a constraining society.
Unlike flowers, a weed, although ugly and foul-smelling, grows free, such as a person who preserves individual freedoms.
